A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!

ogilvy does christmas cheer - on the cheap!

This just
in from Hoboken East… In an effort to make the Ogilvy survivors forget about the
hundreds of their colleagues being sacked just weeks before Christmas: In his
wisdom, John Seifert will be hosting a fucking "Budget Party," that, I am reliably
informed, few plan to attend, where the lucky survivors will be distracted in
advance by voting on the theme cocktail
of the night! Here’s the sparkling invitation…

Please
join me on Thursday, December 20 from 10 AM-12 PM in the Theater as we kick off the holiday season at
O&M New York. In advance of our celebration, we need your help. We have
special holiday drinks and treats planned, but in the spirit of pervasive
creativity, we are crowdsourcing the party's signature cocktail! Cast your vote
here now: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZB2C9QG. Happy

Crowdsourcing in the spirit of pervasive creativity! How fucking pathetic... Too bad surveymonkey doesn't have a write in section! I bet they'd get some doozies!
